Spring Flowers.....

Spring flowers are everywhere I look! This is my absolute favorite time of year. My friend Bart Boehlert posted this photo of the Union Square Flower Market in New York on his blog Bart Boehlert's Beautiful Things...

...as well as this image of the tulips in Abingdon Square, our morning coffee spot when we are in New York....

and another favorite blog, Habitually Chic, posted this photo of the tulips on Park Avenue in New York. While living in New York, the tulip moment on Park Avenue, a street I walked daily, was a very special time of year and one that I will always long for.

If I can't have New York's Park Avenue in bloom with tulips, Flower Markets, and Abingdon Square, at least I can have Spring Flowers in the form of art by Big Easel artists. Here are just a few "Spring Flower" pieces to keep everything in bloom....
